Hi Bruce/PyNFS team, I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to seek clarification regarding the PyNFS test case 'st_lookupp.testLink' (flag: lookupp, code: LOOKP2a/LKPP1a) included in the PyNFS test suite for v4.0 and v4.1. Specifically, I would like to understand the expected behavior relating to the error codes for this test case. In the PyNFS test suite for v4.0, the test case LOOKP2a (located at nfs4.0/servertests/st_lookupp.py::testLink) initially checked for the error code NFS4ERR_NOTDIR. Subsequently, an update was made to this test case to also expect NFS4ERR_SYMLINK in addition to NFS4ERR_NOTDIR [reference: git.linux-nfs.org Git - bfields/pynfs.git/commitdiff]. However, in the PyNFS test suite for v4.1, the corresponding test case LKPP1a (located at nfs4.1/server41tests/st_lookupp.py::testLink) continues to check only for NFS4ERR_SYMLINK as the expected error code. Given the discrepancy, should the test case for v4.1 (LKPP1a) be updated to also check for NFS4ERR_NOTDIR, similar to the modification made for the v4.0 test case (LOOKP2a)? Additionally, while the RFC 8881 section on the lookupp operation [reference: Section 18.14: Operation 16: LOOKUPP - Lookup Parent Directory] does not explicitly mention the error code NFS4ERR_SYMLINK, it is noted in Sections 15.2 [reference: Operations and Their Valid Errors] and section 15.4 [reference: Errors and the Operations That Use Them]. Therefore, would it be reasonable to update the test case LKPP1a to allow both NFS4ERR_SYMLINK and NFS4ERR_NOTDIR as valid error codes, ensuring the test case passes if either error code is received from the server? Your insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
